LENEXA, Kan. (June 25, 2019) – Diverse, inclusive, and welcoming workplaces foster innovation, growth, and a greater sense of community. Performance Contracting Group, Inc. (PCG) President & CEO Bill Massey affirmed the company’s commitment to this people-first approach by joining the largest CEO-driven business commitment to advance diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

By signing and committing to the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ pledge, PCG will continue to take action to create a company culture where diverse experiences, perspectives, and ideas are welcomed and respected, and where inclusivity is embraced at all levels of the organization.

“I am thrilled to add my signature alongside more than 650 other business leaders committed to eliminating unconscious bias and driving more inclusive behaviors in our workspace,” Massey said. “Fostering a culture of inclusivity and building strong, diverse teams is mission critical for the PCG family. Aligning with the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion is a monumental step forward in bringing the business world together in unison for the betterment of our greatest asset – our people.”

The CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ pledge has garnered support from more than 700 CEOs and Presidents from over 85 industries, resulting in more than 600 concrete actions shared through the program’s hub, CEOAction.com.

PCG’s commitment to diversity and inclusion is highlighted by unwavering support from the organization’s Leadership Group and Board of Directors. The Company recently acted on this commitment by naming Cecily Bee as its new Diversity & Inclusion Manager. In this newly created role, Bee will lead internal diversity and inclusion efforts as well as develop strategic partnerships with external organizations, leading the way for inclusive practices.

“This commitment is just that – a commitment to the betterment of the business world,” said Robyn Kavanagh, PCG’s Director of Human Resources. “It starts with us; from the executive level to the newcomers to the PCG family. Bill’s signature and our D&I program expansion are profound statements of owning our part in raising the conversation of diversity and inclusion to the highest level – where it belongs.”
